i have the hot mag....its a great filter if have small fish and non sloppy eaters. it clogs very fast for me....i only use it as a secondary filter to aid in flow. i have a 404 fluval and a hot 150. the 150 clogs in 2 weeks the 404 does not clog.

I have a fluval 205 on my 20g planted tank and couldn't be happier. With such a small price difference I'd do the 205.

fluval all the way.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! The only reason I was considering the HOT is because I already have one of these on my 40gal. and I know it works good.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to put in there yet... I was thinking maybe some Apistogramma agassizi.

Apisto's arent huge fans of flow. Consider than as well.

Hot Mag is a workhorse and I own several of them.
